When you choose John W. Polhemus our certified inspectors and technicians will thoroughly inspect and test your system in accordance with NFPA requirements and your local codes. With our state of the art software, we will provide you with reports of our inspections and a detailed summary of the tests conducted, along with potential trouble areas. Our qualified staff will offer any solutions to the deficiencies before they become problems. These records will be submitted to your insurance companies and local Fire Department to insure the discount premiums you deserve.

Your fire alarm system can only work in an emergency if it has been properly maintained. Fire and Safety Officials attribute most failures to lack of routine, qualified system maintenance. With proper maintenance, the failure rate for sprinkler systems in fire conditions is minimal. When failure does occur, it usually happens because the system is out of service, the main control valves are closed or there has been a change of use since the system was installed.

Routine maintenance and regularly scheduled inspections are important to insuring the operation of your system in an emergency situation. Our Service and Inspection Division can help owners comply with insurance requirements and fire codes!
